CAPILLARY ELECTROPHORESIS OF CYTOMEGALOVIRUS DNA IN AN UNTREATED CAPILLARY

Abstract

This work demonstrates that the PCR products of the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can be detected by capillary electrophoresis in uncoated capillaries using a zwitterionic buffer. Furthermore, dilution of the sample in phosphate buffer leads to stacking which improves the sensitivity by the ultraviolet detection without the need for sample desalting or cleanup.
